摘要
Precipitation in Al-16 at.%Mg is investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The shape of the beta' formation DSC effect is interpreted with a novel theory and the curves obtained on the basis of this new theory it well to the experimental curves. The s parameter derived from these fits, which is akin to the Avrami parameter n appearing in the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov model, is larger than 2.5, indicating that beta' precipitation is an autocatalytic process. TEM showed the abundant presence of defects (mostly dislocation loops) but no evidence of nucleation of beta' precipitates on these defects. The enthalpies of formation of the beta and beta' phases are derived as 15.7 and 11.5 kJ per mol Mg, respectively. (C) 1998 Acta Metallurgica Inc.
